When flying, you could trust your various possessions to a shiny new bag startup (Bright colors! Funky linings!). Or you could rely on a company that’s been in the business for almost 45 years and whose bags have survived trips to every corner of the world, a company like Tumi.
Of course, Tumi deals in higher-end luggage and everyday bags, making them more of an investment than an impulse buy. But today, they’re one and the same, as Nordstrom is knocking down prices on backpacks, briefcases, suitcases and more by hundreds of dollars.
As we have some experience with Tumi — our editor-in-chief previously hailed one of their backpacks the hardiest he has ever owned — we’ve picked out the best of the sale below. They’re all made of ballistic nylon, a fabric developed for WWII airmen, so on your next flight you can rest assured that not even a rapid baggage handler can ruin these.
Duffel: Alpha 2 Travel Satchel
Normally $395 | Now $277
Suit Bag: Alpha 2 Wheeled Carry-On Garment Bag
Normally $695 | Now $487
